I was thinking of buying a Headphone or Earphone and i don't want to damage my ear.
Answer
Headphones can damage your ear just as much as earphones. The reason being is because headphones are generally made for best sound quality with nice bass reflexes if you buy a nice pair of headphones for 200-300 dollars. Earphones will also damage your ears, anything you put right next to your ear and play at high volume expect some sort of damage! If you're going to be using this for movies and you play it on medium volume you'll be fine. You just got to remember any product will damage your ears if you play it at high volume and get carried away with it. It's like people think they're cool blaring music into their ears at 70dbs directly into their ear. They're not they're just doing damage. So just remember its not the product that will cause the damage it's the consumer, if the consumer uses the product responsibly then you wont damage your ears!!

advantages of in ear monitor headphones?

what are the advantages/disadvantages of in ear headphones compared to earbuds?
Answer
The most obvious is isolation from external noise. While cheaper ones offer isolation comparable to closed on-ear headphones (which is still much better than what conventional earbuds are capable of), pricier sets offer isolation better than that of Active Noice Cancelling (ANC) headphones without the audio artifacts introduced by ANC technology. More isolation means you are left alone with your music, which means you get a better listening experience. It also means that you don't have to turn up the volume to hear your music when external noise is present. Lower volumes prevent hearing loss (which is worth the price of admission to the in-ear world in and of itself).
There's more technical advantages, too - a closed-ear coupling means that manufacturers can use lower-output driver units, including Balanced Armatures (a transducer design commonly used in hearing aids). As a general rule Armatures offer great accuracy and clarity at the expense of output levels. An in-ear coupling also allows for a more tactile translation of bass from the earphone to the ear - with a few exceptions the bass from conventional earbuds is heard but not necessarily felt, which results in manufacturers trying to crank up bass to ridiculous levels and creating 'fart cannons' in the process.
Disadvantages - you do have to clean the tips once in a while, especially foam ones, or they will get gross. Simply rinsing them with soap & warm water once a month works. For foam tips hydrogen peroxide may be necessary (and they'll have to be replaced eventually anyway). Some pricier sets include replaceable filters as well to protect the earphones from your earwax. Those may need to be replaced as suggested by the manufacturer.
Isolation can also be a disadvantage if it leads to you endangering yourself or others (i.e. using them while biking, lifting weights in a crowded gym, etc. etc).
Lastly, a closed-ear coupling introduced a phenomenon called 'cord contact noise', commonly known as 'microphonics'. Microphonics are a result of solid audio conductance and manifest as a scratching or bumping noise that you will hear in your earphones when something hits or rubs against the cable (clothing, furniture, etc). You can see an example of solid conductance if you put your ear to the table and then knock on the tabletop a few feet away - the noise will be much louder than if the sound travels through air to reach your ear. Microphonics are worse in some in-ear earphones than others but as a general rule they simply come with the territory.
